So, I will have a direct comparison of both cruise lines as I have booked back-to-back Caribbean cruises leaving Miami this January/February.
I am accompanying a friend on the NCL ship Epic for a 7 day caribbean cruise. Originally I had intended on staying a few days before the cruise in Florida with my DH. But the last week in January is cold in Florida and I saw a cheap 5 day cruise option to Jamaica/Cayman islands offered by Carnival which would be about the same cost as hotel/meals in Florida. We went on a cheap Carnival cruise to Mexico this spring and I know that Carnival has been disparaged on some forums as the "K-mart" of cruise lines...but we had a good time, so I booked again.
My friend and I are booked in the cheapest cabin on NCL for a week and my husband and I booked a balcony cabin on Carnival.
The interior cabin on NCL is offered for 1718 double occupancy (fee/taxes/gratuities) for 7 days ($245 per day) and the 5 day Carnival cruise is offered for 1198$ (240$ per day). About the same price. I'm curious how to two cruise lines compare. Anyone been on both? Your thoughts....
